gain Dormobile on ebay
Anyone seen this one?

Nowt to do with me though.
Might turn out a nice restoration project for somebody. It appears to have a galvenised chassis. Might even bid on it myself if price doesn't rise to astronomic proportions, even just for the chassis.

Very interesting. Looks too lovely to break though & why in all honesty? If it is original lets keep it together & refit the missing interior. Looks like the seats are original.
I am sure Alex will add it to his stable...
Kindest regards

Looks like a nice starting point for somebody to build their own interior, especially if the roof still works and has the bunks in it.

Re: gain Dormobile on ebay
I have contacted the seller who kindly replied...
"The two front seats fold down. The window in the roof is cracked. The grill has been stolen. No rot underneath, its galvanised. 7000 on the clock so its probably done 107000. miles. Last driven 25 years ago. The previous owner a farmer , Stripped the back out & dumped it, so he could move bales of hay around the farm"
Hmmn.

Its a bargain. If you consider that Charles is currently reverse engineering the seats so replacements will be available and Mick makes wardrobes it is restorable. Bits don't look very 63' but it seems to have been modded for purpose and I bet it has history.

My stable is very much full! But unfortunately my bank much less so. Tempting but not possible

Re: gain Dormobile on ebay
would be nice to carry out a modern interior conversion as there is nothing there to ruin.

Re: gain Dormobile on ebay
Doesn't matter if it is there or not? I'm modding the interior to suit us as a family of 4, but I keep everything I take out to be put back if I ever would sell Dora...
But it is more of a blank canvas I guess this one.
